Soooo seeing the success of that recent massive group lowball had me inkling to have one too. As my last lowball pretty much cleaned me of any unwanted guides (Maybe a handful left but that's managable), I'm a bit more eager to do one. So if you want to join in, let me know. I'm only interested in honest and trustworthy sellers so if you got a bit of a rep, do something to work on that and maybe next time we can work together. I'm looking to get this started a week and a half or perhaps 2 weeks from now. Plenty of time for people to recover from the last big one.

Approved Sellers:
tiggerkiddo (I guess I am a part of this, right?)
AugustAPC
adriley313
laotahn
MasaTFC
hetz15
iambeaker
kube00
ShadowSx
EnvyNeko

As a disclaimer, here are some of the items I'd probably toss in the lowball:

Soul Calibur 3
SSX (PS2)
Jet Moto 2
Fatal Fury: Battle Archives 2
Resident Evil 4 (PS2)
Gran Turismo 4
Need for Speed: Underground 2 (PS2)
Tony Hawk Underground 2
Guilty Gear XX: Slash
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 9 (Discs only and in an unmarked case)
Vampire Savior Collection (JP PS2)

When are you planning on doing it? I've got a few old games/guides/swag that I'd want to get rid of but am too busy to do it myself.

I've got finals in a few weeks and then start summer school (also full time) the following week so I don't know if I can even list/take pictures of my stuff.
 
I'd start it somewhere between April 26-May 1st.

Would give me (And others) some more time to find more desirable stuff for it. Who wants to bid on common stuff?

EDIT: Ya know...for the hell of it, I'm adding my personal copy of Link's Awakening CIB to it. To spice things up.
 
I would throw a few things in. Have a large box of current gen game cases that I really need to do something with (along with some games and a super nes).

In the same boat as Vinny, thats my finals week. But I still would give it a go!
 
There a seat for a 'fella like me? I have some CIB NES games and other stuff I could throw in.

I also have a ton of free time coming up, so I could manage the main post, updating frequently every day. Can do some custom graphics to add a little flavor too ;).
 
Sure, post a list of what you'd like to sell. Anyone who is seriously interested in the group lowball should submit a list of what you'd sell.

Some help updating the first post would be appreciated. If you want to do some custom graphics, I won't stop you!

Anyways, I've added Super Mario Advance 4 (Sealed), Castlevania Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance to the list. Along with CIB Link's Awakening.

If AugustAPC is part of the group lowball be sure to let him do the layout/look & feel of the auction. The man has some wicked awesome graphics that he made that make for a nice presentable auction that's easy on the eyes. I should know, I stole some of his work :lol:.
 
I'm a bit depleted after my lowball, too. But I noticed some more stuff that need to go. I've also maybe gotten a little overzealous on my guide purchases.

Also, you'd probably want a new thread with reserved posts immediately thereafter.

Appreciate the compliment! :) I have some new ideas to make it look easy on the eyes and vibrant.
 
The new thread will be created a little closer to the start of the lowball date (I'll narrow it down to the exact day tomorrow morning when I get home from work). I'll also figure out just how many sellers we'll have but I'll have a better idea in a few days. For now, submit your lists, here or PM to me if fits your fancy...or what not.

EDIT: So maybe I won't add Link's Awakening to the list (DX CIB costs too much for my tastes) but I'll add a few DVD's I got...like this Collector's Edition of Nightmare Before Christmas (Time for me to upgrade to Blu Ray!)

I think I'm gonna frequent a few thrift stores this week and stock up. I bet I can find some gems!
 
Here's what my Seller info would look like for a lowball, I will be updating this post with pictures until Tigerkiddo announces for us to do something different. All my games have been played before by me, so they should all be working and in great condition!

Please check out my Ebay feedback to make sure you're safe bidding with me! (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...-1&de=off&items=25&which=positive&interval=30) I accept Paypal and Money Order, I do not accept Amazon Payments.

I like the potential lists. I have some things I could toss up but I'd have to mull it over a few days. I will definitely be bidding on a few of these items.
 
Lowball will officially start May 1st. I'm not sure on the duration but that will be decided once a list of sellers has been finalized. I plan to figure that part out Wednesday. If you've run a lowball in the past, point me to it so I can better make an informed decision (Look at me trying to sound all official!). If need be, I'll figure out the list a day or two later but I don't want to drag it on, like who wants that?

Items to be added to my list:
Lunar Legend (CIB)
Parasite Eve (Tentative)
 
Someone needs to lowball some old school PC games, I would kill to get my hands on a complete copy of Full Throttle or Ultima IX: Ascension.
 
Again, post up lists everyone! I see that some have done that and I'm grateful but still...pictures are even better.

Let's see...what else? Oh yea, give a general grade for your items. I plan to do that soon as well.

I would be willing to make a deal of buy 2 get one free as well. All cases/manuals are at least a B+, if not an A.
Also, I have some anime vhs tapes I will throw in, but I will have to find the box with them before I provide a list. I realize my feedback is a little on the low side, but I am willing to help out as much as I can. Pics can be provided if I am approved to participate (and if my gf will help out with that).

Bah, depending on the start time, this lowball would end just as I start my finals (or during the middle of my finals). Not sure if I want to do it or not... I've got so much crap that I need to get rid of.

And your finals start when exactly? At the advice of others and myself, the start times will be adjusted or changed if need be.

Photos are more of a bonus right now. Lists and grades will help me out much more.

7th of May, but I'm not asking for the start time to be adjusted since I don't even know if I'll participate.
 
hmmmm i may be interested in this, ill have to take a better look at my stuff when i get home and see what i want to get rid of. will post a list/potos later if i find some things id like to sell. might even sell my copy of kid icarus in the lowball... maybe
 
Stupid firefox deleting my message...

Anyways...I will be sending out PM's to anyone who has expressed interest, requesting a list of items and whether they've run a lowball or not. Knowing that you have run a successful lowball (Or multiple ones!) shows that you are a trustworthy CAGer!

Yea I guess that's kinda obvious...

Anyways, when making up your list of items, try to think of it like an outsider. Is there anything in my list that would be attractive to others? If I were someone buying my stuff, why am I drawn to it? Things like recent, well praised games or underrated retro stuff...or even anime items. And if there isn't anything real desirable, what are some things you could add that would draw interest?

Sort of what I'm doing...I know my list sucks so I'm finding things to add to it. Here are just a few more items I'm adding:

Metal Gear Solid (GBC)
Bomberman GB
Pokemon Red (If I can get it working that is)
Donkey Kong Country Returns (Great condition, I just don't enjoy it like the SNES ones)
Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls CIB (Let me sleep on it, not the game I mean!)

Oooookay, that should be it.

Now I'm not an expert on the Kamen Rider figure market but it seems like they fetch a decent price so it might be worth it to keep them separate. Then again, it seems like a lot of them just go unsold so it might not hurt to keep them in one lot. You never know when it comes to lowballs, which is kind of the exciting thing about them.

As for the PC games, there's probably a market though I'm not sure about those titles. Man if any of you offer up Twinsen's Odyssey, I will outbid this entire forum...*squee*

Anyways, if you have a lowball...or several in the lowball forum, I've read through them (Or at least read through part of them) but it you hosted lowballs before the lowball forum was made and you think it'd be helpful to me to see, link me!
 
My tentative list:

Here are links to the Raphael and Donatello figures. They're pretty big and motorized. Kinda sad to sell them, but I haven't any room for them at the moment.

I'll probably be adding more stuff as I decide what I want to let go.

I used to have an in box Full Throttle years ago, back before I had the patience for DOSBox and things like that. Never could get the sound to work.

The PC big boxes I'm after are System Shock 2 and EWJ. Glad to know I'm not the ONLY one interested in them, though. I got lucky and found a near mint Alice/Undying pack at Goodwill for $3.

If I ever came across a Fallout 1 or Planescape Torment in large-boxes I might pick them up. The trouble with PC collecting is that there's so many boxes I've tossed due to space issues, also the number of games with compatibility issues (I've donated many of the more stubborn ones). You got to be very selective when it comes to PC stuff...
 
All this talk reminds me how much Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 is such a memory hog on newer Windows machines (Why can it be such a pain to run it? I love it so much!)

Back to the lowball! I'm already picking out sellers and adding them to the OP. Check it out as I'll decide on a few more names tonight, tomorrow and...yea. I'll be preparing for a move so I'll be a bit busy this weekend but once I get all moved in, I should be good to go!
 
think it'll be possible to for all the sellers to accept Amazon Payments? I'm pretty much done with Paypal and wouldn't want to be left out of any bidding wars just cuz a seller doesn't have AP.
 
Hmm, depends on the seller but I'll pose the question when the group is decided. I don't mind either way since I'm set to accept paypal or Amazon.
 
I'll look into it. I'm not sure if I want to open up another financial account, though. Already a pain in the ass juggling what I want to keep in cash, in the bank, and in PayPal.

lol how OLD are you talking seth? I am talking like Kings Quest, Space Quest etc with boxes and instructions/disc in excellent shape My dad was very particular about his PC games. There are a bunch of those laying around at my mums house and she ain't playing 'em.:lol:

As far as a list of items, I am not ignoring your PM tiggerkiddo, just had a major day at school yesterday and I have a test I have to turn for this evening so I can't get around to the anime tapes/games till probably tomorrow evening. And if you don't think the game cases I have would be of worthy contribution I understand. Still have a few other items that would be of note (Neon Genesis Evangelion figures, at least one if not 3 *sealed*) Just let me know.
